Honor and Respect to you!

I am in utmost awe and gratefulness for the work you have been doing for and through Wisdom Circle Ministries!  You are precious angels of the Light indeed!

Tomorrow, I intend to take my first time off since the earthquake, on January 12th.   I also intend to gradually rebalance my time assignment along the next few days.   I need to rest, to maintain the car I have been using, to take care of relatives and to connect with people who have been wondering why I have not been in touch.   I hope to eventually get back to better and more regular communications through the Internet soon, especially with you all for Wisdom Circle Ministry affairs. I will also do my best to get back on float with my Spiritual Counseling course with TNS.

Thank you so much for your generosity and dedication for the Ayitian people and humanity, and for your patience and flexibility with me!!!!

Peace and Reverence to you!
